Now in her opinion, Tang Tong is a "big one".
"Master Xinyue means that we can negotiate anything. Not to mention food and medicine, he can even give General Tang a great victory."
Xue Wuxia unconsciously smacked her lips. "Hmm, the almond cake is indeed delicious." She was startled and felt she should be more careful about her image, but then she realized there was no need to act pretentiously in front of this idiot. She stood up slightly, dragged the almond cake from the middle of the table toward her, picked up a piece, and savored it carefully.
"Hmm~~~~Are you serious?" Tang Tong suddenly became interested. If this business could be discussed in this way, it would be completely different.
"There's no need for me to go to such great lengths to deceive you, General Tang." Seeing Tang Tong's interest, Xue Wuxia simply focused her attention on the almond cake. While chewing it, she called to the Tang family's maid next to her, "If you have any other specialties, ask the chef to make a few more."
In the maid's view, Xue Wuxia was a guest after all, and it was reasonable that the guest's request could not be refused, but her master was still sitting here. For a moment, the maid was stunned and didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Tang Tong laughed and said, "It is I who am being rude." He then ordered the maid, "Didn't you hear what Miss Xue said? Go and do it."
Then Tang Tong pointed at the other two maids who were serving him and ordered, "You go and help too."
After the maid walked out of the garden, Tang Tong made a gesture behind him, and a figure appeared from behind the rockery in the distance and quickly caught up with the maid.
At this time, Tang Tong said apologetically: "It was my fault for neglecting this matter. Such business should not be disclosed to others. Fortunately, the young lady reminded me, otherwise it would have been a disaster."
Xue Wuxia said disapprovingly, "It's just a small matter, as long as General Tang is willing to do it."
"What's there to be reluctant about?" Tang Tong waved his hand and said, "There are beautiful maids everywhere, but this kind of business doesn't come along every day. Now, Miss Xue can rest assured. The guards in the distance can't hear our conversation. Besides, there are at least twenty powerful crossbows pointed at this courtyard, so no one can get in."
Xue Wuxia didn't seem to hear the bloody and threatening tone in Tang Tong's words. Instead, she said, "Actually, I'm quite looking forward to what kind of cakes your chef can make. After all, I have some experience with such delicious cakes, but I've never tasted them before."
Although Tang Tong was a little annoyed that Xue Wuxia did not respond, he also knew that now was not the time to be angry. After all, although he had driven the Khmers back to Chongzuo, he had not achieved any remarkable results in the past year or so, which had caused the central government to have an increasingly negative opinion of him. If he could win a big victory now, it would be more real than any pig iron money or food.
"He's just a small country chef, not worthy of being on the stage. When I took office, the military situation was urgent, so I left in a hurry. This chef was hired locally in Zhaoyang. I didn't expect that he was so good at making pastries and could win the favor of Miss Xue. Hahahaha, if Miss Xue likes it, I'll give it to you. It's a small matter." Tang Tong pretended to be generous.
"If you give it to me, I dare not accept it. He is a captain of the Jinyiwei and he condescends to be a cook in your house. You still dare to give him away. I say, General Tang, you are really a man of great skill and courage." Xue Wuxia opened her red lips and said word by word to Tang Tong, who was acting in a heroic manner.
